Question 1

What is AstroVeda Pro?

Accepted Answer

AstroVeda Pro is a platform for Vedic astrology, numerology, and palmistry readings, combining precise astronomical calculation with computational analysis. We believe astrology, numerology, and palmistry are a combination of science and spirituality, and every reading is built on that belief, backed by over 30 years of education, research, and offline consultation experience.

Question 2

What makes AstroVeda Pro different from other astrology sites?

Accepted Answer

Most sites give you one method in isolation, a chart reading, or a palm reading, or a numerology profile. Several of our readings (Matchmaking, Ask AstroVeda, Past Life Reading, Complete Reading, and Remedies & Pariharams) combine astrology, palmistry, and numerology together, so the analysis cross-checks itself across three independent traditions instead of relying on one.

Question 3

Why do some readings ask for palm images even though they're not labeled “Palmistry”?

Accepted Answer

Because those readings (Matchmaking, Ask AstroVeda, Past Life Reading, Complete Reading, Remedies & Pariharams) fold palmistry into the analysis alongside astrology and numerology. Uploading clear palm images for these readings gives a fuller, more cross-checked result than birth details alone.

Question 4

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, an account lets us save your birth details, your reading history, and any private notes you add, so you don't have to re-enter your information every time.

Question 5

Is anything free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Moon Sign Readings (Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Horoscope) are completely free and unlimited, no payment or credit required.

Question 6

How much does a reading cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing varies by reading type and is always shown clearly before you pay. See our Pricing Policy page for how our pricing works.

Question 7

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

All payments are processed securely through Razorpay, supporting UPI, cards, and net banking.

Question 8

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Once a reading is generated and delivered, it's final and non-refundable, since it's a digital product delivered instantly in full. If a reading fails due to a technical error on our side, we regenerate it or refund you, your choice. Full details are on our Refund & Cancellation Policy page.

Question 9

What's the Transit Reading subscription?

Accepted Answer

It's a 30-day plan for ₹499 ($9.99) that gives you a pool of 30 reading credits to use at your own pace, capped by whichever comes first: 30 readings generated, or 30 days elapsed. It does not auto-renew.

Question 10

Is my birth data and palm photos safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your birth details are used only to compute your reading, and palm images are used only to analyze your palm. We never use your data to train external AI models, and we never sell your personal information to anyone.

Question 11

Can I delete my account and data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any time. Use the Support/Help button at the bottom of any page to request full deletion of your account and associated readings.

Question 12

Are these readings scientifically proven?

Accepted Answer

Our readings are grounded in classical Vedic astrology (Parashari Jyotish), Chaldean numerology, and traditional palmistry, traditions with centuries of practice, but they are not empirical or medical sciences in the way a lab test is. See our Disclaimer for the full picture.

Question 13

Is this a substitute for a doctor, lawyer, or therapist?

Accepted Answer

No. Nothing here is medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice. If you're facing an emergency, contact the relevant professional or emergency services directly, not this site.

Question 14

Can I download my reading as a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every reading (except where noted) includes a Download PDF option with your full analysis.

Question 15

What if something breaks or I have a question you haven't answered here?

Accepted Answer

Use the Support/Help button at the bottom of any page. We reply within 24 hours.

Question 16

What is included in the Kundali reading?

Accepted Answer

Lagna (ascendant), Moon sign, Nakshatra with Pada, all 9 planets in signs and houses, 10+ classical yogas, dosha analysis (Mangal, Kaal Sarp, Sade Sati, Nadi), and the full Vimshottari Dasha timeline down to Pratyantardasha.

Question 17

Which ayanamsa do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) Ayanamsa, the sidereal system prescribed by the Indian government and used by professional Jyotishas.

Question 18

Do I need my exact birth time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Ascendant (Lagna) shifts roughly every 2 hours, so even a 5-minute error can change your house placements. If you don't know the exact time, we recommend Nadi rectification (contact us).

Question 19

Can I download my Kundali as a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every premium Kundali includes a beautifully formatted PDF download with the full calculation transparency panel so any Jyotisha can audit the numbers.

Question 20

What is a yoga, and which ones do you check for?

Accepted Answer

A yoga is a specific combination of planets, houses, or signs that classical texts associate with a particular life outcome, career strength, wealth potential, or challenge. We check for 10+ classical yogas including Raj Yoga, Dhana Yoga, and Gaja Kesari Yoga, and explain each one that applies to your chart in plain language, not just by name.

Question 21

What's the difference between Mahadasha and Antardasha?

Accepted Answer

Mahadasha is your current major planetary period, often running several years. Antardasha is the sub-period within it, run by a second planet, which fine-tunes what that Mahadasha actually feels like month to month. Your Kundali reading breaks down both, down to Pratyantardasha.

Question 22

Does Kundali analysis include palmistry or numerology?

Accepted Answer

No. Kundali is a pure astrology reading, based entirely on your birth chart. If you want astrology combined with palmistry and numerology in one reading, look at Complete Reading instead.

Question 23

What hand images do I need?

Accepted Answer

Clear photos of both palms in natural light, fingers spread, entire palm visible, no shadows. Dominant hand shows present/future, non-dominant shows inherent tendencies.

Question 24

Do you invent lines you can't see?

Accepted Answer

Never. If a line isn’t visible in your image, we say so. Our system has a strict “honesty gate” that refuses to describe features that don’t appear in your palm.

Question 25

What is the Simian line?

Accepted Answer

A rare merged head-and-heart line, present in roughly 1 to 4% of hands. It indicates intense focus and a single-track approach to both thought and emotion, explained fully in your reading if detected.

Question 26

Which lines and features do you actually read?

Accepted Answer

Head line, heart line, life line, fate line where present, mounts, finger shape, and hand shape are all analyzed together, not just one or two lines in isolation.

Question 27

Do you use hand shape (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) in the reading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hand shape is one of the base indicators we factor in alongside the individual lines, since it sets the overall temperament the line reading is interpreted against.

Question 28

Can I use an old photo of my palm?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a recent photo. Palm lines do shift gradually over time, especially the head and heart lines, so a current photo gives the most accurate present-day reading.

Question 29

Chaldean or Pythagorean numerology?

Accepted Answer

We use Chaldean numerology, the older, more precise system rooted in ancient Babylon and used by Cheiro. It assigns numbers to letters by sound-vibration, not alphabet position.

Question 30

What is the Lo Shu Grid?

Accepted Answer

A 3x3 grid from Chinese and Vedic tradition that maps the numbers in your birth date to reveal missing energies, dominant traits, and the driver/conductor pair that shapes your personality.

Question 31

What are Karmic Debt numbers?

Accepted Answer

The numbers 13, 14, 16, and 19. When they appear in your calculation chain, they signal specific life lessons carried over from unresolved past patterns.

Question 32

What is the Destiny (or Life Path) number?

Accepted Answer

Your Life Path number, calculated from your full birth date, is considered the single most important number in your numerology profile, describing the overall direction and lessons of your life.

Question 33

Do you use my name as well as my birth date?

Accepted Answer

Yes, where you provide it. Your name contributes letter-based numbers (like the Destiny number) using the Chaldean sound-vibration system, alongside the date-based numbers from your birth date.

Question 34

Can two people have the same numerology profile?

Accepted Answer

It's possible for core numbers to match, but the full profile (Life Path, Destiny, Lo Shu Grid, and any Karmic Debt numbers together) makes an identical profile between two people unlikely.

Question 35

What is Ashtakoot Guna Milan?

Accepted Answer

A traditional 36-point compatibility system based on eight kootas: Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi. Each contributes a specific weight, totalling 36 points.

Question 36

What is a "good" score?

Accepted Answer

18/36 is the minimum for marriage. 24+/36 is considered excellent. Below 18 usually indicates significant friction unless there are exceptional yogas or compensating factors.

Question 37

Do you check for Mangal and Nadi dosha?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both are analysed in every reading. Mangal dosha placement is compared across partners, and Nadi dosha is checked for hereditary compatibility.

Question 38

Does Matchmaking look at more than just the two birth charts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Matchmaking combines astrology, palmistry, and numerology, so alongside the Ashtakoot Guna Milan score from both charts, we compare numerology compatibility between partners and factor in palmistry indicators when palm images are provided. That's what sets it apart from a chart-only compatibility check.

Question 39

Should both partners upload palm images?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you want the most complete compatibility reading. Palm images let us cross-check relationship and temperament indicators visible in the hand against what the charts and numerology already show, so a reading with palm images from both partners is more thorough than charts alone.

Question 40

Does numerology compatibility matter as much as the Guna Milan score?

Accepted Answer

Both are weighed together. The Ashtakoot score remains the traditional core of the reading, but Life Path and Destiny number compatibility between partners is analyzed alongside it, not treated as an afterthought.

Question 41

Do both partners need to submit their own birth details?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we need accurate birth date, time, and place for both partners to run the chart comparison, and palm images from both if you want the fullest combined analysis.

Question 42

What kind of questions can I ask?

Accepted Answer

Career direction, marriage timing, relationship compatibility, health concerns, financial decisions, education, relocation, spiritual practice. Anything grounded in life circumstance where an astrological reading has traction.

Question 43

Is this a horoscope?

Accepted Answer

No. A horoscope is generic to your sun sign. Ask AstroVeda anchors every answer to your specific chart, your current Mahadasha and Antardasha, the exact planetary transits over your natal placements, and the yogas active in your chart.

Question 44

How specific are the answers?

Accepted Answer

Very specific. You’ll see the exact planetary period cited ("Jupiter Mahadasha until 2033"), the transits driving the question’s timing, and the classical texts the reading is rooted in. No vague reassurances.

Question 45

Does Ask AstroVeda only use my birth chart?

Accepted Answer

No. It draws on your birth chart, your numerology profile, and your palm features together, astrology, numerology, and palmistry combined, so the answer is cross-checked across three methods instead of relying on planetary transits alone.

Question 46

Will uploading palm images improve my answer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Palm features add another layer of confirmation, especially for questions about willpower, timing of effort, and how much of a situation is within your control versus already set in motion, so we recommend uploading palm images for the fullest answer.

Question 47

Can I ask about a specific person or relationship?

Accepted Answer

Yes, questions about relationship timing, compatibility concerns, or a specific decision involving another person are all within scope, answered from your own chart, numerology, and palm data.

Question 48

What is a Muhurtam, and why does the timing matter?

Accepted Answer

A Muhurtam is an astrologically chosen auspicious window for starting something important, a wedding, a business launch, moving house, or a similar major event. Starting at the right planetary moment is believed to smooth the path ahead and avoid avoidable friction.

Question 49

How do you calculate the recommended dates?

Accepted Answer

We analyze Panchang, Nakshatra, Tithi, and planetary positions across your chosen date range, then rank the strongest windows and flag times to avoid, like Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, and Gulika Kaal, for each recommended date.

Question 50

What kinds of events can I get a Muhurtam for?

Accepted Answer

Marriage, business launches, property purchases, travel, education milestones, and other significant life events where timing is traditionally considered important.

Question 51

Can I get a Muhurtam personalized to my own birth chart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Enabling "Personalize for Me" aligns the recommended Muhurtam with your Moon sign, Nakshatra, and current Dasha, rather than giving a generic date range.

Question 52

Does Muhurtam use palmistry or numerology too?

Accepted Answer

No. Muhurtam is a pure astrology reading based on Panchang and planetary positions. If you want a personalized timing recommendation that also factors in your palm and numbers, Complete Reading is the better fit.

Question 53

How far in advance should I request a Muhurtam?

Accepted Answer

As early as you can, especially for events like weddings that need lead time to plan around the recommended dates. Requesting close to your target date narrows the pool of auspicious windows we can offer you.

Question 54

How do you determine details about a past life?

Accepted Answer

We combine astrology, numerology, and palmistry: karmic indicators in your birth chart (Nakshatra, Dasha lord, Rahu and Ketu placements), your numerology profile, and features visible in your palm, to surface recurring soul-level themes rather than a single-method guess.

Question 55

What is the Soul Evolution Score?

Accepted Answer

A 1-to-100 score placing you at one of 7 stages of soul development, based on the karmic patterns visible across your chart, numbers, and palm together, along with an explanation of what that stage typically means for your current life.

Question 56

Is this the same as past-life regression therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. Regression therapy is a clinical or hypnotic technique performed by a trained practitioner. This is an astrology, numerology, and palmistry-based interpretation, offered for reflection, not as a therapeutic or medical service.

Question 57

Should I upload palm images for this reading?

Accepted Answer

Yes, strongly recommended. Past Life Reading is a combination analysis, and palm features are one of the three inputs it draws on, so a reading generated without palm images is working from an incomplete picture.

Question 58

What information do I need to provide?

Accepted Answer

Your accurate birth date, time, and place, plus clear photos of both palms for the fullest, most cross-checked result.

Question 59

What's included in the Complete Reading that I don't get buying readings separately?

Accepted Answer

Astrology, palmistry, and numerology analyzed together in one unified narrative, so patterns that show up across all three (not just one in isolation) get connected for you, plus a combined PDF with everything in one place.

Question 60

Do I need to upload palm images for this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, strongly recommended. Complete Reading is built on all three methods together, astrology, palmistry, and numerology, so uploading clear palm images is what makes it a genuinely combined reading rather than two-thirds of one.

Question 61

How long does it take to generate?

Accepted Answer

Because it combines three full analyses into one synthesized reading, it typically takes longer than a single reading type. The page shows a live progress indicator while it works.

Question 62

Is this better value than buying the three readings individually?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Complete Reading is priced below the combined cost of purchasing Kundali, Palmistry, and Numerology separately, on top of the synthesis you get from all three being read together.

Question 63

Why is combining all three methods better than one reading alone?

Accepted Answer

Each method has blind spots on its own. A birth chart shows planetary tendencies, a palm shows how those tendencies are currently playing out day to day, and numerology shows a separate, independent pattern layer. When all three agree, that's a strong signal; when they diverge, the reading tells you where, instead of hiding it.

Question 64

What kind of remedies do you suggest?

Accepted Answer

Traditional Vedic remedies: specific mantras, gemstone recommendations, charitable acts, fasting days, and simple rituals, matched to the planetary weaknesses or afflictions found in your chart, numbers, and palm together.
